Hitman: Absolution – design and kill

These days player choice is all the rage in video games. The shackles of linearity, with occasional exception, are largely a vision of the past.

More and more, modern developers have opted to give players the choice to complete objectives in any way they see fit. IO Interactive’s Hitman: Absolution is no different. In fact gameplay creativity is one of the game’s vital elements.

Watch Agent 47 adapt to his surroundings and remove his targets from the realm of the living in the latest gameplay trailer.

“Innovation is your greatest weapon.”

Agent 47’s long history of snuffing people out obviously precedes him. The bald faced assassin has been toting his a silenced pistol since the turn of the century. Absolution represents the fifth game in the series that got its start on the PS2.
